Stanton Chase has officially opened its new office in Huntsville, with Mayor Tommy Battle leading the celebration at the 106 Jefferson hotel.
The mayor welcomed the firm and discussed the city’s business ecosystem and ongoing development. He stressed the importance of attracting middle-income companies for economic stability.
The event coincided with Stanton Chase’s “Gather & Grow” meeting. This gathering typically focuses on the company’s offices in Alabama, Tennessee, and Georgia. This year, consultants and partners from Türkiye, Mexico, and Germany also attended. Their presence is a good example of the firm’s continued commitment to collaboration and innovation across international lines.
Mayor Battle also spoke about Huntsville’s resilience during economic downturns and its progress since he took office in 2008. He noted the city’s success in attracting companies like GE Aviation, Blue Origin, Mazda, Toyota, and Polaris. These businesses have created thousands of jobs in the area.
The event also featured a Q&A session where Stanton Chase employees discussed topics such as affordable housing and quality of life with Mayor Battle. He addressed efforts to maintain a low cost of living and plans for a mixed-use housing development on Governors Drive.
Al Smith, Jr., Managing Director of Stanton Chase Huntsville, expressed excitement about the new office. “It was an honor to have Mayor Battle kick off our annual state of the firm meeting,” Smith said. “He highlighted Huntsville’s impressive growth and generated a lot of excitement within our team, further fueling our enthusiasm for contributing to the city’s dynamic business environment. Our entire team was impressed with Mayor Battle’s knowledge, approachability, and the compelling vision he holds for Huntsville.”
